Breathe
ANIMA! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe easy tonight
Be quiet
Let the lines on your face feel light
Till the mornings ripe
It'll be alright

Speak your mind
Unwind all of your designs
I know you try
You put it on the line
Set it all aside

Long as you're alive

If there's hate there is love
If there's a right then there will be a wrong
Breathe out
Breathe in
Whatever you take, whatever you give
Constantly circles around again
Breathe out
Breathe in

This is it
We give what we've got to give
And we begin
To see it from within
Let the rhythm in
And give it back again

Here and now
Is the sound
All the people shout
Lay it down on the common ground
Let your light be found
Long as you're around

If there's hate there is love
If there's a right then there will be a wrong
Breathe out
Breathe in
Whatever you take, whatever you give
Constantly circles around again




Breathe out
Breathe in

Angie Wiesen

My wife and I were driving listening to one of her playlists and this song came on. Neither one of us had heard it before and were baffled how it got on a playlist we listen to regularly. While listening to it the second time in a row I began to cry. I really connected with the lyrics and the music. I wanted to give you a shout out to say thank you for sharing this gift of a song!! Love it!!
